How to playLAST PAGE Below is a four letter word. Copy and paste it into your post (don't quote or the quotes could get ridiculously long). Change/Replace one letter and type it in next to the original word. The next person to reply will need to copy and paste two words and so on and so on.No repeating of words. (To check if a word has already been used, hit control F, a "Find" box will appear on your tool bar, type the word in there. (Thanks for that tip LookN!, Your way is fine too, Phil...I just don't remember what it is!) Let's see how many words we come up with by changing one letter at a time.RULES:1. This game is loosely based on the board game SCRABBLE. We are following the rules for acceptable words as set forth by SCRABBLE.Acceptable words:"All words labeled as a part of speech (including those listed of foreign origin, and as archaic, obsolete, colloquial, slang, etc are permitted". (Note on foreign words - they must be words that have been incorporated into the English language, i.e. Fino (Spanish sherry) is acceptable, Vous (French for you) is NOT acceptable)Unacceptable words:"Words always capitalized (proper nouns), abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes standing alone, words requiring a hyphen or an apostrophe". 2. As much fun as it would be to rearrange letters, that defeats the purpose of the game. THE CHALLENGE IS IN CHANGING/REPLACING ONE LETTER!!! 3. You can only play ONE word at a time. 4. If a word is challenged, the correction should be made by the person who catches it and play continues from the correction forward. If words are lost because of that, then shame on all for not catching it sooner. Before you "change" a word, please make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN it truly ISN'T acceptable by looking it up in the final source. See next rule. 5. (as suggested by Desperado). The following is the final source on acceptable words, if you can't find it here, it's NOT acceptable: [url=http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble/en_US/search.cfm][color=#3165c6]Official Scrabble Players Dictionary (OSPD)[/color][/url] ***Please note: in this source the plural tense of a three letter word can often only be found by looking up the singular. ex: LIDS is only listed in source under LID. *** 6. On occasion players post simultaneously creating a double thread. The game moves on from the FIRST new word to be posted. Please take a second after posting to look back and make sure this has not happened to you. If it has then edit and change your word to follow the word that was posted first. That has been the unspoken "gentlemen's" rule of this game since day one and has helped to keep it a friendly game. 7. PLAY NICE! NO TROLLING, FLAMING OR RUDE REMARKS ABOUT ANY OTHER PLAYER PLEASE! THIS GAME WAS CREATED AS A PLACE FOR FUN AND TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE HEATED EXCHANGES THAT SOMETIMES OCCUR ON OTHER THREADS.

Tom, I didn't see your comment, but I think I've got it. I deleted the second "KAKA".

DeBEACHBEAR: corrections can be made at any time. When I compiled an alphabetical listing of all the words awhile back, I found two errors embedded in the list about midway. These were noted and corrected. Anyone who discovers an error can either correct it or ask for assistance. This is a friendly group focused on the challenge of making this list accurate and as complete as possible. We have over 10,000 words to go, so don't be shy. Dig in and keep us moving along.

ick! sounds like a disease!!! ...or an Hawaiian name for a type of fish! i do too many crossword puzzles or watch too much Jeopardy.

btw, considering the alternate meaning, have you noticed the phrases we've been 'throwing' around; i.e., "the repeat of KAKA", "KAKA double", "second KAKA", and Jen's winner "catching the double KAKA". sounds like we're a group of dog walkers. lol.

Snuggle, I marvel at your continual creative solutions. Almost chess- (not chest) like for strategy.
